Installation or upgrade fails on Dell Optiplex 745 equipped with Intel
Corporation 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora Core 9

How reproducible:
Just try to install Fedora Core 9 or upgrade from FC8 to FC9 on a Dell Optiplex 745.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start the installation/upgrade procedure.
2. 
3.
  
Actual results:
Running anaconda 11.4.0.82, the Fedora system installer - please wait...

you may safely reboot your system

Expected results:
Go to the following step :)

Additional info:
According to the traceback, it seems that anaconda was trying to probe my video
card but failed. Another element is the line about my Samsung harddrive. Don't
know who is the culprit.
